Powerband CEO To Voluntarily Hold Shares For 12 Months

“I want people to know I am invested in PowerBand for the long run” – CEO, Kelly Jennings

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2020 / The CEO and largest shareholder of PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSXV:PBX)(OTCQB:PWWBF)(Frankfurt:1ZVA) (“PowerBand“, “PBX” or the “Company“), has announced he will be entering into a voluntary escrow agreement with Computershare and that he will not sell his shares in the Company for at least 12 months, until January 29, 2021. This commitment is in addition to any escrow imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The voluntary move by CEO Kelly Jennings comes as PowerBand continues to advance plans to put its transformational, cloud-based transaction platform into the hands of thousands of dealerships and consumers across North America.

“I want people to know I am invested in PowerBand for the long run as we revolutionize how cars and trucks are bought, sold, leased and auctioned,” said Jennings, who founded the company 9 years ago.

“PowerBand intends to make buying, selling and leasing a car as easy as ordering an Uber on your smart phone or buying a product from Amazon,” Jennings said. “This is a transformational solution, removing unnecessary middlemen, to benefit consumers, dealers, rental and commercial fleets, OEM’s and funders.”

Jennings has more than 27 years of automotive dealership ownership and management experience, and has won numerous awards from major OEM’s for industry-leading business performance and customer satisfaction. Jennings holds 41,865,283 shares of PowerBand, representing approximately 37 per cent of the Company’s outstanding shares.
